I discovered ML's actors very recently, currently going through his whole filmography... it's pretty impressive to see how he changed through the years compared to his earlier roles, even physically. He was always very mature and developed in terms of acting. Recently I started seeing him in Dr. Brain and it's pretty impressive to see the range of his acting. I must say that overall he didn't seem to have a "type" of role, like Hugh Grant that is, I think, generally associated with romantic comedy. This means that not every one of his work might be everyone's cup of tea, so if you are watching a drama simply because he is the lead in it, your mileage might vary.
